Counties; authorizing online publication of questions submitted to voters. Effective date.

SB 2142 allows Oklahoma counties to publish voter questions online (via county websites or social media) instead of, or in addition to, traditional newspaper publication. This amendment to Oklahoma statute 19 O.S. 2021, Section 383 updates the required publication method for ballot questions, ensuring counties must still publish questions for at least four weeks before voting. The bill directly affects counties handling local ballot measures and election notices, streamlining how they inform voters. It takes effect November 1, 2026.
